One year after collecting a Super Bowl ring, Whisenhunt left Pittsburgh to become head coach of the Cardinals.

His first three seasons yielded records of 8-8, 9-7 and 10-6, making him the first Cardinals coach to go .500 or better in his first three years.

But after Warner retired, the Cardinals had records of 5-11, 8-8 and 5-11.

The Cardinals fired Whisenhunt on January 1, and the Chargers interviewed him for their head coaching job last week.

McCoy, who's in his first week as a head coach, said Whisenhunt’s head-coaching experience already has come in handy.

Whisenhunt will dust off his playcalling skills, as he said he didn’t call Arizona’s plays last season, when the Cardinals, unsettled in their line and at quarterback, ranked last in yards and 31st in points.

“I've called them in a Super Bowl,” he said. “I’ve called them when we were 10-6 and Kurt had one of his better years.”

Said McCoy: “He’s calling nothing but touchdowns. That’s all he’s going to do.”
